I'm looking for people interested in collaborating in creating a live music venue on the playa. I've got a solid crew of musicians and sound engineers here in Santa Cruz, CA, and we'd like to create a sweet spot for bands to share their gifts on the playa.

Here are the main pieces of the puzzle. Please drop me a line if you have any materials or skills that can help make this a reality!

I wear a lot of hats and fit some of what you're looking for. I am a:
-Sound Engineer/Recording engineer
-Director of Marketing (for a horror film company)
-Musician in many projects including:
1. live dubstep hybrid band with a live drummer
2. acoustic guitar singer/songwriter
3. metal & rock frontman singer/screamer for several projects

Just a random idea, but if you where planing on having live music in the late afternoon to early evening. You could use the dead time of morning to afternoon to host speakers. Sort of like the Chautauqua Lectures. If anything, it'll help promote the space during the event for evening shows.

Hey, our band, GravyBrain, has played there the last three years. I don't know much about the PA stuff, but I know what it takes as a musician. More than willing to give you some tips. Have you been to Burning Man before?
